I was super excited to see the 191 on the scale again this week! Woohoo! I'm not getting my hopes up for next week though... seeing as Friday next week is Christmas Eve. Now, I'm certainly not going to gorge myself for the holidays. I'm actually not sure if the new and improving me is capable of that. Ok, anyone can gorge themselves, but my tummy starts hurting after eating about half of what I used to feel ok about. Last Saturday I discovered that eating one old fashioned donut makes me sick - too much sugar. I hate to admit that I used to eat 3. Not often, but sometimes. Just another sign that I'm doing something right. Maybe next time I'll choose to avoid the free donut after choir practice. But as far as the holidays go, the food is just part of the enjoyment of family togetherness. I'm certainly not going to pass that up, but I think I know myself better this year than I ever have.
Zumba is still going well. I think maybe... just maybe.... I might have a little rhythm in me. Maybe it's just that the instructor is catering to all the other ladies in the class... who are on average about 40 years older than I am. That means I actually stand a chance of getting it right. I've always been pretty hopeless as a student of any kind of dance.

I'll leave you with another sign that I'm doing something right... I dragged my husband along window shopping and promised we could go get dinner afterwards. He took this picture with my phone, so it's not that great, but you get the idea. No, I didn't buy the dress, but I was sorely tempted. I've come a long way to even think about trying it on.
